To think I'm ugly and plain looking?

87 replies

feelawfu · 25/11/2023 20:50

I've been single around 8 years. Recently met someone but sabotaging so much as I genuinely feel so so ugly and plain. From my hair to my face. I am worrying about positing this as a lot of the time people are accused of trying to gain compliments etc. I swear to got I'm not trying to do that. I have struggled with self image since I've been a young teen and would love WOMENS real opinions. I don't trust men with this as they will compliment away and then break my heart.

I think you're attractive but I've heard it said time and time again on here that self confidence makes you more attractive. Easier said than done I know as I struggle with this myself some days.

Pinkyponker · 25/11/2023 20:53

You're neither ugly or plain though

But not pretty either

You are categorically, 100% not ugly or plain. You may benefit from some work on your self-esteem/counselling.

MerchSwyddEfrog · 25/11/2023 20:56

You are not plain at all! You are very pretty. You have very clear skin, lovely shaped eyes and brows and a beautiful smile. You need to start believing in yourself.

theduchessofspork · 25/11/2023 20:56

You are very attractive

You aren’t a raving beauty (hardly anyone is) but you are good looking.

Can you afford to see a therapist to work through whatever is causing this? It would really be worth some investment.

Why would anyone put their photo on Mumsnet?

feelawfu · 25/11/2023 20:56

I feel like I get this a lot on Mumsnet and no one is going to be honest and tell me the truth

OP I think you are pretty. You have gorgeous clear skin that I am so envious of (43 and still getting spots)
I really hope you find the strength to be kind to yourself about your appearance. You look lovely

I don't really care if anyone recognises me. I'll put my number up to prove I am who I say if you want.

Your gorgeous!
Go and embrace it all

You need to work on your boundaries then. Recognise early signs of poor behaviour and potential poor behaviour.

Mangolover123 · 25/11/2023 20:58

You are bloody gorgeous!
Please don't beat your self up. You need to feel better about yourself, because a bit if self confidence goes a long way.
So stop being a victim, go out and live your life x

manybiscuits · 25/11/2023 20:58

You're fine. No, you're not plain or ugly, if that's any help at all. But I don't think posting photos is going to help you, and there's always a spiteful poster or two ready to put the boot in on any of these threads.

I suppose it's better than repulsive 😁

I think you look quite sweet, much nicer skin than mine, how old are you?

The hairdos not right though I'm sorry to say, I wouldn't be rushing for a fringe but there's gotta be a hairstyle that softens your hairline.

RaininSummer · 25/11/2023 21:00

You are nice looking in a natural way which I think is good. I find you way more beautiful than the women with lip fillers and other so called beauty interventions. Self esteem is what you need.

PandyMoanyMum · 25/11/2023 21:00

I think you need to take this down. Anyone who sees this and recognises you could exploit your worries about your appearance.

MerchSwyddEfrog · 25/11/2023 21:01

Even the most beautiful women get messed around by men and have their fair share of strife to deal with!

katie20202 · 25/11/2023 21:01

I think you are beautiful! Amazing face and skin I would love to have

Please work on your self esteem. The PP deserves to be reported, not humoured.

I don't think that would mean much to anyone. Hardly helpful either. Not meaning to be rude.
